A powerful anthem for the youth of World War One that offers a compassionate look at war and its devastating effects. Adapted from Pat Barker's Booker Prize-nominated novel. Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland 1917. Poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon has been institutionalised in an attempt to undermine his public disapproval of the war. His Army Psychiatrist, Dr William Rivers, has been tasked with returning shell-shocked officers to the trenches, yet under Sassoon's influence, has become tormented by the morality of what is being done in the name of medicine. Produced to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WWI, Nicholas Wright's stage adaptation of Regeneration opened at the Royal & Derngate, Northampton, in August 2014, before embarking on a national tour co-produced by Touring Consortium.
Där Iliaden berättar om männen som stupade vid belägringen av Troja, vill Barker istället gestalta hur deras mödrar minns dem, hur de var som barn och den sorg de lämnar efter sig. Här styr hustrurnas och mödrarnas perspektiv, de som förbinder de skadade och tvättar liken, de som hela tiden hotas av död, våldtäkt, att bli fråntagna sina barn."Flickornas tystnad" ger röst åt krigets och tillvarons alla tysta kvinnor. Det är både en kärleksroman och en hjältedikt där Akilles är ett ensamt barn som förlorat sin mor och aldrig slutar söka efter henne. "Flickornas tystnad" är en bok att sträcklästa.
"Suur Achilleus. Hiilgav Achilleus,särav Achilleus, jumalik Achilleus ...Küll alles kuhjatakse epiteete.Meie ei kasutanud ühtegi neist;kutsusime teda lihunikuks."Kui Briseisi linn kreeklaste kätte langeb, puruneb tema senine elu. Kuningannast saab vang, vabast naisest ori, kes antakse saagiks jumalikule sõjamehele Achilleusele. Ning ta pole ainus: nii tolsamal kui ka teistel pika ja kibeda sõja päevil rapsatakse lugematuid naisi kodust ja jagatakse võitlejatele vaevapalgaks.Kistes Trooja sõja suurejoonelise draama lahti harjumuspärasest mehekesksest pilgust, püüab "Tüdrukute vaikimine" tuua lagedale teist, naiste lugu, kaardistades omaaegse kuninganna teekonda läbi ajalookaose, kus ta püüdleb vabaduse ja õiguse poole olla omaenda loo autor.Pat Barker sündis 1943. aastal Yorkshire'is ja alustas kirjanikukarjääri neljandal elukümnendil, pärast Angela Carteri juhendatud kirjutamise lühikursusel osalemist.

Satute oma võimete tipul oleva kirjaniku meelevalda."EVENING STANDARD"Barkeri poole tõmbavad klaarid tõed, kaasahaarav süzhee ja selge pilk, mis vaatab vankumatult meie maailma ajaloole näkku."THE GUARDIAN2018. aastal ilmunud romaanis "Tüdrukute vaikimine" kergitab Barker loori Briseisi, unustatud naise loolt, kes on ühe kuulsama sõjaeepose keskmes.

This fascinating collection of 200 photographs forms a pictorial history of Selly Oak over the last century. The manors of Selly are mentioned in Domesday Book but the name of Selly Oak first appeared in the early eighteenth century, probably as the Bristol Road was turnpiked. The area became an attractive one for those who had profited from expanding industry in the area and wanted a more rural lifestyle. The nineteenth century saw the gradual disappearance of farms with increasing industrialisation and by 1911 Selly Oak had officially became a suburb of Birmingham. From the mid-twentieth century, as older industries declined, the impact of the expanding university has been increasingly felt and the twenty-first century will bring further changes: the building of a new hospital will significantly affect the local road network, and there are plans to reopen a section of the Dudley Canal and to recreate the canal basin for tourist purposes. This timely record of the area was compiled by members of Selly Oak Local History Group using photographs drawn from their own archives and those of Birmingham Central Library.
